Islander15 1,065 Posted March 11, 2021 Grobauer signs. It looks like a team of second strings plus Bomber so I hope they can at least find a proper second heat leader. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grobauer isnt a bad rider.....he won the German best pairs last season, scoring 14 points? My only concern is, he seems to have an unpredictable personality? Hope he's mentally strong enough? Saw him just once when visiting with Somerset....think he had 2 decent races...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Gentelmen, as a newby on here my posts have to be approved, so I do not know how long it will be before this post appears on this thread. It just so happens I recently took my old 2 valve Jawa engine for restoration to a well known engine builder and tuner, and we chin wagged for an hour or two about speedway, he was also the man who did ( and will be doing) Grobauers engines, so he new first hand the problems, nothing to startling and I am not going to broadcast the details, but I understand the problems he had at Somerset. The tuner thinks Grobauer is a good prospect and could be a suprise package for the Brummies, given the right enviroment, and made to feel at home. Cant wait for the season to start 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BWD will be on an 8.21 average (if my sums are correct)... So would fit...

Col 854 Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Well ... 1 never quite managed to gate GP winner, 3 reserves & 2 second strings look good, any possibility of a rider who can win a heat? Edited March 12, 2021 by Col Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiveusaB 1,145 Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Just seen Grobauer's average (5.38) and I think it's brilliant business by our management! 9.71 to play with ? only one other team in the league has a rider above this average......(proven at this level) Edited March 12, 2021 by GiveusaB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok....LOL...I'll change brilliant to good.....I think I got excited by the fact that we've still got 9.7 to fill the last team spot ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is that there no rider available near that average who is willing to ride over here. So think your team will be a few points under. Maybe BWD if he wants to ride but not much out there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
